Brandauer is a precision stamping and press tool manufacturing company who produce over a billion parts every year, supplied to 26 different countries across 10 sectors including plumbing, automotive and telecommunications.
Brandauer’s continued investment in a range of technologies from the Carfulan Group has created a seamless and accurate inspection process.
The Carfulan Group works with world-leading companies, such as Unimaq, providing the most advanced manufacturing technologies available, helping to achieve optimal performance and end-product excellence.
Production Brief:
As one of the largest contract precision stamping companies in Europe, Brandauer needed to ensure their entire production process has the most advanced technologies available.
Brandauer sought high-performance inspection solutions that were capable of fast, accurate, and repeatable measurements, in-depth data analysis, trend identification, and easily accessible historical data.
They made contact with the Carfulan Group to explore their wide range of manufacturing technology and software solutions.
Rowan Crozier MBE, CEO of Brandauer, said:
“Our customers have really high expectations. They want things accurate, repeatable and recorded.
“With the Carfulan Group I have one single point of contact that can deliver me the right solution for that demand.”
The Solution:
Brandauer invested in multiple multi-sensor metrology machines from OGP UK, the best-in-class multi-sensor measurement systems, as well as QC-CALC Real-Time data collection software from Prolink UK, an intuitive, scalable and integrated software solution that empowers manufacturers with real-time data monitoring, automated reporting and unrivalled shopfloor integration.
“Since we have invested in the range of machines supplied by OGP UK, we are now able to work much more collaboratively to develop bespoke solutions for our customers,” said Rowan.
“OGP UK multi-sensor metrology machines make sure the parts are good, the measurements are repeatable but it also makes sure the measurements are efficient.”
Operations Lead at Brandauer, Adam Burgoyne, said: “As a business we have invested in Prolink UK’s QC-CALC Real-Time software to deliver greater data analysis with an easy-to-use front end.
“The software uses a colour system on the dashboard which means we can easily see if a process is in control. This has allowed us to gain greater control of our data, reduce human error and reduce the scrap levels within the business.”
The Benefits:
As Brandauer has continued to invest in a wide range of technologies from the Carfulan Group, they have continued to enhance their entire manufacturing processes. By upgrading to the latest inspection and data analysis technologies, Brandauer has attracted new business from leading customers across the globe.
“Our relationship with the Carfulan Group has developed real breadth,” said Rowan.
“They have even helped us to win new business. Our customers are often very interested in our equipment from OGP UK and with that interest comes referrals for new business. We’ll continue to use those machines as we continue to grow.”
Adam said: “For anyone looking for advanced precision engineering, manufacturing and data analysis solutions, I wholeheartedly recommend the Carfulan Group,” said Adam.
“Their five divisions have been instrumental for us for a number of years in winning new projects and keeping ones we already had. They have helped us grow as a business alongside them at the same time.”
